I miss going to sporting events and watching sports on TV. I miss it so much that today I made the tortas I make when we usually go watch a soccer game.
This Avocado Queso Fresco and Jalapeño Torta is one of the best tortas you will ever have
Slices of queso fresco, fresh avocado and tangly, pickled jalapeños on a mayonnaise slathered telera bun is our stadium food. My husband was surprised I put these together without a game to cheer at. Although he thoroughly enjoyed it and would never say no to one of the best tortas he’s ever had.

Don’t skimp on any of these ingredients. This torta can be prepared with bolillos, baguettes and sourdough slices. Whatever you have on hand. You can also add onion and tomato slices but we are minimalists. This is perfect for us.
